In this study, I investigated cases of operating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sustainable design courses based on interdisciplinary education for diverse design major students in the fashion design department. Through literature review, we examined the necessity of this course operation and analyzed the course through class design, execution, and operational results. Sustainable design courses were organized for 2nd to 4th-year students, promoting integrated learning for fashion design and various design majors to enhance interdisciplinary skills based on the in-depth study of SDGs issues. The educational content in the classes focused on the sustainable development goals achieved through upcycling design of waste PET bottle fibers developed by local industries, aiming to pursue sustainable values of designers through problem discovery and resolution. Students developed various upcycled products, evaluated metrics, and assessed satisfaction levels. Through this process, students gained an understanding of the practical value of SDGs, recognized the importance of sustainable development through design approaches for solving local issues, and acknowledged the significance of interdisciplinary education with various design majors.

The purpose of this study is to examine the functional aspects linked to the productivity innovation of ChatGPT, which emerged as a result of the rapid development of AI technology, and to identify ways to apply it in the jewelry industry. By analyzing the definition of ChatGPT and its features that improve productivity, I identify the scope of its application in the jewelry production process and derive meaningful implications. ChatGPT has the characteristics of 'learning', 'communication', and 'generative'. It enhances productivity by applying it to the jewelry industry. Social issues arise from the paradigm shift in the creation methods of generative AI. The version of ChatGPT is continuously upgraded along with the expansion of parameters. Accordingly, we would like to discuss ways to strengthen the competitiveness of the jewelry industry by conducting continuous research.

Nonresponse and missing values are caused by sample dropouts and avoidance of answers to surveys. In this case, problems with the possibility of information loss and biased reasoning arise, and a replacement of missing values with appropriate values is required. In this paper, as an alternative to missing values imputation, we compare several replacement methods, which use mean, linear regression, random forest, K-nearest neighbor, autoencoder and denoising autoencoder based on deep learning. These methods of imputing missing values are explained, and each method is compared by using continuous simulation data and real data. The comparison results confirm that in most cases, the performance of the random forest imputation method and the denoising autoencoder imputation method are better than the others.

This discussion looked at how emotional adjectives are connected in the format [[emotional adjective + '-ko(and)'] + emotional adjective]. As a result, it was confirmed that there are quite a few cases in which two or more emotional adjectives are used to express emotions in Korean. This can help Korean learners understand and express the individual lexical meanings of emotional adjectives more clearly by identifying emotional adjectives that are used together with the corresponding configuration. It was believed that it could help Korean language learners express complex emotions or create rich emotional expressions when expressing their emotions in Korean. It is hoped that the examples and frequency of [[emotional adjective+'-ko(and)'+emotional adjective] shown in this discussion will be of some help in teaching and learning Korean emotional vocabulary.

In this paper, we present the results of a study of lessons learned from the life of Caleb (Cal), a significant character in John Steinbeck's "East of Eden." His life serves as a powerful example of the process of self-discovery, overcoming conflicts with self, others, and society. He emphasizes the importance of managing and understanding your emotions, learning to acknowledge and express them throughout your journey. He makes moral judgments while confronting desires and conflicts, and transparently demonstrates the importance of self-determination based on ethical decisions, while his honest expression and acceptance of his own emotions emphasizes the core value of emotion management and understanding. Additionally, his story emphasizes the clear importance of understanding and compromise in human relationships. We present a thorough exploration of these topics and consider how the lessons from Caleb's story can be applied to our everyday lives. As a result of the analysis in this paper, we expect to gain insight into how these lessons can be applied and put into practice.

With the development of AI, Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot that appeared in 2022, is rapidly spreading to a wide range of people and expanding its usefulness. This study was conducted to examine college students' intention to continue using Chat GPT using a technology acceptance model. As a result of the study, all of Chat GPT's features had a positive effect on college students' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. However, among the features of Chat GPT, system quality and relative advantages did not directly affect the intention to continue using it. However, it was confirmed that it had an effect when perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were mediated. The perceived usefulness and perceived ease of Chat GPT were verified to have a positive effect on the intention to continue using it.
